Item Details
Description
VERY FINE LARGE SHACK SIZE 17 x 16 x 14 Inches.The shack is imposing in size and it is a true color-lover's delight.Colors are arranged in a cozy, playful and eclectic manner.The interior features a miniature furniture, consisting of a dinning table, chair, single bed, a red bench and a painting on the wall."Famed for her political statements and desire to affect others towards just causes BEVERLY BUCHANAN uses art to make powerful aesthetic and political statments."Buchanan is best known for her many paintings and sculptures on the "shack," a rudimentary dwelling associated with the poor.Scholar Janet T. Marquardt argues that Buchanan treats shacks not as documentary elements but as "images of endurance and personal history"; often using bright colors and a style of childlike simplicity, the works "evoke the warmth and happiness that can be found even in the meanest dwelling, representing the faith and caring that is not reserved for privileged classes." Her art takes the form of stone pedestals, bric-a brac assemblages, funny poems, self portraits and sculptural shacks. But potent themes of identity, place and collective memory unite the works uncovering the animus that runs through them: to connect with those around her and reckon with the history that shaped her communities"...The item is in excellent condition with only minor signs of aging.
